Actually, while it's a new platform for the X1, the current F series platform is actually quite "old", in the X1's case having its genesis with the 2nd generation MINI. BMW's next generation platforms will have be the G series, the first being the just-released G10 Carbon core chassis 7 series, which has some serious smarts in its iDrive systems among other areas. It's worth having a look at the new 7 series just to see what we can expect to trickle down to lower model ranges.
